Is George Lucas involved in any story-creation way? I sure hope not. He's already introduced the Biblical God, mystic Indian stones, and telepathic aliens into the world of Indiana Jones - where does he go from there? The more he pushes it, the more ridiculous the Indiana Jones universe gets.
I wish high schools would show this movie. It really should be required viewing. Sicario was a brilliant film. Truly enjoyed every minute of it.
I suppose I could see that. I liked it for the entertainment value and was totally engrossed for the entire flick. Different strokes, right?
Spotlight is another one that I watched recently and thought was incredible--aside from some mediocre acting.
I wanted to like it, I really did. I usually like those sorts of movies. Maybe that's why. It just felt so under-baked. So pointless. And that ending was a crime against cinema.
It also could have been that I liked it so much because I watched it at four in the morning. I couldn't sleep; strange things happen at that hour.
Possibly, but lots of people rave about it so you're not alone in your adoration. And it's getting a sequel.
Oh, and I recently saw this Indie gem. I get why most people don't like it but I fucking loved it. I saw the trailer and waited weeks to get a copy sent to me so I could watch it and it was exactly what I was expecting and hoped for. So much so that it has inspired me to write a similar script, which I've started. Heaven Knows What.
That one actually looks fantastic. I'm going to save the name. Right up my alley. Along those lines, @Selbbin ever seen/read Candy or Tideland?
Yeah, that wasn't one that really got me but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Candy, however, is a wonderful film, and even better book. The book and movie versions are so different that you can enjoy them separately for what they are in their own mediums. I'd recommend Candy with two thumbs up. But I liked Sicario a lot, so take my suggestion for what it's worth.
I'm young, so I hadn't seen very many 90's films. But the other day, I just got the urge to finally watch a couple of Quentin Tarantino's first films. I LOVED Reservoir Dogs. The fact he wrote such an in-depth script in two weeks is just remarkable. Then I watched Pulp Fiction. Classic. I looked up the Oscar's for that year (1994) and realized the Academy must've had a BRUTAL time deciding on best picture. Honestly, Pulp Fiction deserved more (the winner was Forrest Gump), but I would've given that year's best picture to The Shawshank Redemption.
No. Kind of. Maybe. Was just a thought in reference to my earlier comment of the film inspiring a script idea. My bad.
I didn't care much for Hail, Caesar! but I'm still gobsmacked by their version of True Grit that gets better every time I see it.
Got this playing in the background but I'm finding it hard going. It started promisingly with some lovely dialogue exchanges, but then kind of fizzled out before it had time to get going. Films where 'not a lot happens' are difficult to do well, and I don't think this one does.
It's what makes the world go round I wanted to like it, I really did. I love KR, but boy it was dull. I actually gave up and turned it off just after they said they needed to amputate the guy's leg.
